This adapter is in one of my desktop PC's I want a wired connection to. Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. One of the nice things about Ethernet is that you can wire two different Ethernet partners together, and they can quickly establish a working link. If one partner is can go faster than the other partner, then the faster partner will slow down to match the slower partner.

If you upgrade your router to support gigabit also referred to as 1 Gbps or Mbps Ethernet, then you could get a gigabit speed connection if BOTH partners that speed.

I am not familiar with the Fast Ethernet adapter that you are asking about, but the name of the adapter likely refers to the adapter's top speed. Fast Ethernet was the common way to refer to connections at Mbps. When Fast Ethernet was new, "fast" meant something. Today, you have many home routers that support gigabit Ethernet, which is 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet. However, many home users find that Mbps Fast Ethernet is plenty fast enough on their home networks, because the Internet connection leaving their home is much, much slower than Mbps.

No matter what wired Ethernet adapter you use, you will not find one that will connect at Mbps. The two ends of the connection will agree on a speed that both sides can use.
